Experimental investigation of the softening-stiffening response of tensegrity prisms under compressive loading
Ada Amendola, Fernando Fraternali, Gerardo Carpentieri +2
The present paper is concerned with the formulation of new assembly methods of bi-material tensegrity prisms, and the experimental characterization of the compressive response of s…

On the mechanical modeling of the extreme softening/stiffening response of axially loaded tensegrity prisms
Fernando Fraternali, Gerardo Carpentieri, Ada Amendola
We study the geometrically nonlinear behavior of uniformly compressed tensegrity prisms, through fully elastic and rigid--elastic models. The presented models predict a variety of…
